Big news about Trump dinning

[lyman]

The world is overstocked with people who are foaming at the mouth to tell YOU how to eat YOUR steak and eggs.

eggs, anyway you want, I'll eat them everyway but raw,


steak,, rare,, seasoned when cooked with just a bit of salt, and maybe a spash of Worcestershire, (only Lea & Perrins) but usually just salt


any cook temp on a steak above 120 degrees is wrong,,,


I have done some board sauces when grilling,

basically mix seasonal herbs (rosemary, thyme or similar) in butter and let it melt when you put the steak or meat (good with flank or skirt) on the board to rest, then slice

We are going to see a lot of this childish tittle-tattle, supermarket tabloid "news", makes a nice smoke screen for Biden & Co. ,the media can pretend they're on the job, keeping us informed as to what's really important.
Recall a fellow GI watching me put lemon in my tea in the mess hall, he thought that was rather perverse-"I use lemon." I replied, "So do I, I don't use them together." I was told observing dining habits was used to screen interviewees for important job positions, if the candidate put sauce on his steak before tasting it, it showed he was too compulsive, habitual, etc." You're supposed to see if the chef prepared it properly."
I never liked cheese pastries, my mother loved them.

Here's the thing -- you can tell by sight if your eggs have salt and pepper, or if your steak has sauce on it -- why waste a bite to find out what you already know.

But back to my point: it's YOUR steak. Eat it the way YOU want.

Trump still lives in your mind don't he!

Who started this thread???????

Ketchup on steak, if that's not a metaphor for the man I don't know what is.

Thanks for the laughs Ray.

You got this whole board thinking Trump put ketchup on his steak. I on the other hand assumed the ketchup was probably for his fries.
Eggs....I put some hot sauce on my eggs. Ketchup often goes on the hash browns. Hash browns, fries....both are potatoes and I happen to like ketchup with FRIED potatoes. Mostly because so few eateries in the States offer malt vinegar at the table..

I digress. It didn't strike me as ketchup on steak.

Reality, in this case, presented us with an accurate metaphor.

being the Enfield guru you are, I would think you would opt for some Malt Vinegar (yum) or even soem fancy mayo (even more yum) on those chips,,,

If you had to look up the gossip....that is not a first impression in my book.
However, since you did and I looked at it:
Well done?? Cripes! No wonder he uses ketchup! He has to hide the shoe leather taste.
Well done....just order a friggin burger and load it up with condiments.

OK, I confess to using some ketchup on braised calf,s liver. Its how it was introduced to me as a kid and I liked it. Still do. I'll push the bacon and onions to the side for eating separately just to smear some ketchup and black pepper on the meat.

Well done steak, good steak, with ketchup is downright sinful and I know a few sinners. Now Trump is among them

Myself, I put Tabasco sauce on everything. The McIlhenny was a Colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve and served on Guadalcanal. The Navy, afraid of being trapped in what was later called Iron Bottom Sound, sailed off, taking the Marines' supplies with them. The Marines were subsisting on captured Japanese rations. The McIlhenny drew up a small cookbook, and had his company send out small bottles of Tabasco Sauce.

In Viet Nam, his son was a General in the Marine Corps, and he updated that book -- calling it the C-Ration Cookbook. I was serving in the 3rd Marine Division (which had one Army brigade.) I can't tell you how much we appreciated that.

Irish lady friend always has it on hand. If fact she's frying up spuds and onions as I type. Malt vinegar tastes good on lots of things but she won't let me soak her. Don't blame me. I offered. :}€

We all have different tastes for sure, and some just run counter to culinary norms and others are outright insults to good food. I'll let the reader interpret which is which.

Ketchup, outside of some occurrence of salty French Fries, is persona non grata on my plate. In fact I prefer them with mayonnaise. Miracle Whip is also unwelcome.

a good mayo (Dukes,,, ) or whatever some foodie joints use with fries is just damn tasty with fries, add a little black pepper, or white pepper


local place does a version of fries with truffle oil, parsley and a side of what they call Belgian Mayo ,, fantastic stuff

[dryheat]

Just to show how weird I am, I like miracle whip better than mayo.
At least on sandwiches.
